as she's trotting fine with the bitless on...
mmmmm
well, i needed to organise a lesson, so that's something to ponder with RI...
not that i rode for long - time we'd done all the jet washing and other stuff associated with cleaning old stables! - but it was nice and quiet and I hadn't done anything for a couple of days what with rain/gales...
so only about 15 minutes, but trot was not a problem - brakes were, but trot wasn't. and i think the brakes problem was my problem, not hers, of course!
the arena is on top of an incline, and 6 ish is about the time when, just this time of year, the sun is going to be in your eyes in one direction, so i'll have to be careful of that as well
Molly was a lot calmer in the stable tonight - no moving about at all, to the extent that i actually felt safe picking her feet up (rather than, not being sure if going to be knocked over as she moves off again!) - not a lot happening, is probably why!
need to think some about the pad; happy with it, but did feel a shade tipped forward tonight which i hadn't the last couple of times i'd ridden with it..
but, local agent may turn up if passing - she hasn't one, and wants to see one, so i said if she was she was welcome to call...of course! I expect she will if she can...

So you did get your ride in...well done. Happy to know Molly is being quieter in the barn. That means she's settling.
Wonder why the bit is such an issue with her?
"Wonder why the bit is such an issue with her? "
that's the 50million dollar question, jean....
i reckon it's a memory thing, something happened before i had her and we'll not know what...
Re: the tipping in the saddle...could that be because you've been compensating for the saddle not being quite right. Now that the pad is straightening it out, perhaps it's just a case of learning to adjust balance again?
Sounds like she's settling in really well, bit issues aside :(
